Miss Eve's World

blog：A new day, a new wonder

If that’s running tired, keep me awake for weeks.

19.19 seconds? 19.19 seconds? Usain Bolt has created a new art form: Scoreboards We Thought We’d Never See.

Available in a series of four, limited-edition prints, each adorned with the artist’s unique archer’s motif. Value: Golden.

Has there ever been a sequence of runs like this? Like most things Usain, never before.

Four major finals, four gold medals, four astonishing world records. 9.69 seconds in the Olympic 100m, 19.30 secs in the 200m just days later, 9.58 secs in the 100m on Sunday and now 19.19 seconds. You want to include the relay? Then make that five, with a sixth maybe to follow at the weekend.

It’s a track record without parallel, in both senses of the phrase.

Ever since he came out at the start of last year with a golden glimmer in his eye and a magical spring in his step, Bolt has redefined the boundaries of what was believed to be humanly possible. It sounds like hyperbole, but it’s not. It’s just Hyper Bolt.
